Rockets G Eric Gordon to Star, Ryan Anderson Out on Wednesday

Houston Rockets three-point specialist Eric Gordon will get the start for the team on Wednesday with Ryan Anderson out of action due to a minor back injury.

This normally wouldn't be huge news, but any additional minutes for Gordon could be big from a DFS perspective. Healthy for pretty much the first time since his rookie season, Gordon is averaging 16.9 points while shooting 38 percent from distance in 30.5 minutes of action per game.

Even with a slight uptick in minutes, Gordon promises to see more shots with Anderson out. That's where his value is, especially against a Jazz team that struggles guarding from the perimeter.
